THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 29, I960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, CgE. Weather Satellites Said Waste of Time Without Study Plan wasnington - iupu - A sci entific group says that weath- er satellites will be a waste of time, money, and effort un less 'an agency is set up to make full use of the' vast amount of information they provide. It called for support of ef forts to create a national cen ter' for atmospheric research to seek answers to such ques tions as whether weather con trol is possible. The group is the committee on atmospheric sciences of the National Academy of Sci ences. In a report published here, the committee said the need for the national center is pointed up by "the striking success of the weather satel lite Tiros I, man's first in strument for the continuing observation of large scale weather phenomena." 1 Cloud Photographs Tiros I, launched April 1 Into a 450 - mile high orbit around the earth, took nearly 23,000 cloud cover photo graphs before it stopped trans-' nutting. Ashland Firemen Answer Three Calls Ashland - Ashland firemen answered calls for two minor fires Tuesday and one early yesterday. Firemen were called to the Boyd Foley residence,. 285 Whitcman St., at 9 a.m. Tues day, where an overheated oil stove was causing smoke. No damage was reported. ; At 8:09 p.m. firemen extin guished a trash fire at the Sel by Chevrolet co., 100 E. Main. At 10:10 a.m. Wednesday a call was received from 100 Walker ave., where a motor bike was in flames. Damage to the exterior finish and tires was reported. The bike is own ed by Darrell Pruitt, Ashland. A second Tiros is scheduled for launching around t h e middle of next month. Con cerning the potential value of weather satellites, the com mittee said: "Analysis of such world wide meteorological informa tion obtained at regular, short intervals may be expected to increase greatly our under standing of the basic princi ples of meteorology as well as tne precision of forecast ing.. , "One may expect that this increased understanding will some day provide the answer to the question of whether small or large scale weather control is possible." But, the report continued, "there exists at the moment no organization or group in the world that is prepared to exploit fully the new wealth of information that meteoro logical satellites will certainly provide." Proper Organnation -"Thus, it said, "the huge expenditure of scientific ef fort, engineering, and finance in meteorological satellites may be largely wasted unless a proper organization is ready to exploit the informational output of the meteorological satellites for the increase of our knowledge and the con struction of a sound, theoreti cal foundation upon which a newo rder of practical fore casting can be based." A group of 14 universities under a grant from the Na tional Science Foundation is now organizing the national center for atmospheric re search. The committee called this "a first step" but said still further steps are urg ently required." Among these, it said, are early development of a re search and analysis program for the center and the strengthening of the research program of the U. S. weather bureau. rnmnniir-r niiyimflimnnnmiilWtOI III T YfH ,T7:,.ZSZTZ V -.'

My present hus band wants everything for Dan's welfare. Dan 3D I am 15. My parents were divorced five years ago and they have both remarried. My problem concerns my stepfather. Although I have lived with him for only six months my stepfather seems to expect me to love and respect him as a father. He thinks he can boss ?

He has never had any children of his own and I don't think he understands anything about the younger generation. He is middle-aged. I see my father every week and he lays down the law to me. I do pretty much what my father expects of me. I don't think a boy should be required to obey two fathers. My mother is on my stepfath er's side. Mrs. L.T. My husband Is a fine, sensitive man who has taken on a serious sense of responsibility for my two chil dren. He loves them as his own. He has been successful in winning over Dan's young er sister, but has met only rebellion in Dan. My ex-hubsaqd always shirked his responsibilities. He was more interested ' in running around with women than in his own family. Now that we are separated, he is suddenly very concerned about every detail of their lives. My present husband tries to do everything for Dan's welfare. Since he sees him every day, many occasions arise in which he must lay down the law to Dan and I think he should obey. Th Council! This young ster has a very difficult ad justment to make and the three adults involved must recognize this and proceed cautiously. Dan is reaching the age where rebellion against par ental authority is almost in evitable. More than the usual authority Is suddenly imposed upon him. Whatever resent ment he has ever harbored against his own father for real or fancied neglect, he is now free to transfer to a strange man. He sees his own father once a week, and a pleasant occasion is undoub tedly made of it. He sees his stepafther from day to day when many occasions arise calling for restrictions rath er than pleasure. At the same time the new father may be a little over eager to take on his new responsibilities. Childless, per haps he longs for affection and respect from a son. But these can't be built in a day. He must put his own feelings aside and trust to time and the natural growth of love in those Who have received kind ness from others. ' Mrs. L. T. must play a cru cial role in this relationship. She is all wrong to point out defects in Dan's natural fath er. This will not help him develop love for his stepfath er. She must let Dan stick to his loyalty toward his father, merely pointing out that he also has a duty to respect his stepfather. The stepfather should con fine his role, for the time be ing, to showing his Interest in Dan and enocuraging him in all wholesome pursuits. He should avoid criticism until such time as the boy shows he Is ready to accord him the necessa.-y respect. He should never give the impression that he is trying to usurp the position of Dan's natural fath er. (Copyright I960, Central Features Corp.) Father of H-Bomb Warns on Being First To Use It CENSUS REACTION Austin, Tex. OiPD When census-takers announced that Austin's population was some 15,000 below Chamber of Commerce estimates, the Aus tin Statesman headlined: "Get Bigger -or Lost: Ultimatum for Austin?" San Francisco - IUPI) - The man who "invented" the hy drogen bomb says the Unit ed States must never be first to use it even if there should be sure evidence that Russia is on the verge of attacking. Dr. Edward Teller, famed nuclear physicist, called "fa ther" of the H-bomb, urgent ly pleaded for resumption of nuclear tests to perfect mod ern deterrent weapons, but said America "never should and never will strike the first blow." Would Be Impractical "It would be wrong, im moral, and impractical," Tel ler told the final session of the . annual three-day Air Force association's conven tion here. "If we get definite infor mation that Russia will strike us tomorrow, it is my opin ion that even under those conditions we must never strike first," he said. "The surest way to make certain that Russia does not attack, is to maintain a mili tary force so strong that it can absorb the first blow and strike buck." "Tliis is not csy," he said, and he accused the govern ment of "not taking a calcu lated risk but a miscalculated Congressmen To Assess Problems Portland - The majority of Oregon's congressional dele gation will meet in Portland on Thursday, Oct. 6 to as sess state recreation and con servation problems. During a one-day public parley at the Multnomah ho tel, Washington's Sen. War ren G. Magnuson will chair a panel comprising Sen. Hal Lusk; Rep. Edith -: Green, Charles Porter, and Al Ull man, and Senatorial candi date Mrs. Maurine Neuber ger. Testimony will be heard from organizations and indi viduals concerned with air and water pollution, destruc tion of watershed by improp er logging methods, inade quate public access to riv ers and lakes, and exploita tion of timber or mineral re sources. . Witnesses will be allotted five minutes each, starting at 10 a.m. in the Multnomah ho tel's Regal room. After a re cess for lunch, the confer ence will continue to 5:30 P.m. risk" in keeping its ban on atomic testing "It could mean the nation would not be ready to meet an attack, he said. It may mean annihilation of our so ciety ," . . It may mean our lives.'1- He said new testing could save "billion of dol lars" by showing the way to cheaper, smaller, and better nuclear weapons. Teller warned that there is no assurance Russia has re frained from testing. He said there Is no technical means of checking on such tests, if Russia has been violating its self-imposed bun. Tests could be conducted undetected far out in space or underground, he said. Teller said the "enormous military challenge" facing this country is that attack and defeat have become real possibilities after more than a century of sure safety. In urging an overwhelm ing ret.iatory force to de ter war, Teller said he had little hope that defense weap ons could be developed that could shoot down enemy in tercontinental ballistic mis siles. He did not mention the Army's Nike Zeus anti-missile but he obviously had lit tle faith in it. In the space race, Teller said the United States had no justification for compla cency or economies in the face of the fact that Russia will be able to launch larger space vehicles for the next few years. He warned, as he has be fore, that Russia might de vise the means to shoot down American satellites and called for efforts to assure that the Soviet Union cannot "deny space to us." um HUHTERSI1 Ar.
